The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don’t work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

    But a bunch of low karma accounts on Reddit told me Lemmy would never take off!

    It feels like Memmy is getting updates every single day which is nice, Mlem is quite slow to update

          @GizmoLion well some app devs are gonna get bored for sure so we’ll see which ones grab a decent userbase and which ones disrupt the dev’s life so much that after all that time spent they quit being devs and join a lumberjack’s guild nearby to dedicate their lives to deforestation

              @GizmoLion lol, just a perspective from a dev who has loved a few projects for years, and abandoned a few others because holy shit they’re just not worth my time

              i can see this happening in kbin & lemmy app-world where everyone picks “Ammenides for the Kbemmyverse” and the guy who puts 14 hours a day obsessively into “Omonaia for Cute Kbin” sees just like 3 users who decide to demand loli features and you don’t like lolis but you entertain them bc they’re your only users but after months of being annoyed by these fuckers you just press alt f4 one day and realize you’re being unhappy for a community that’s as alien to you as a “caress homeless people when you pass by” hobby club, and decide that enough is enough, and go raise tortoises in a Caribbean island cuz that’s all you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’t because you were making loli stickers for a bunch o lolicons cuz you wanted just a tiny bit more attention that you couldn’t get in real life due to being isolated in your room 24/7, therefore becoming hostage to your own seclusion-caused feedback loop of depression, loneliness and low self-esteem.

              yes, i find suspiciously-specific incoherence funny

    Is there any of these that don’t require TestFlight currently? I like lemmynade the most and Jerboa is apparently broken due to world not being able to connect to it since captchas were taken off and the admins are worried about it. I’ve tried connect and didn’t really like it

        • I cannot view my profile, posts or anything like that just My comments.

        I can select the instance I’m on but there’s no way to view my local instance aside from going onto the sidebar.

        You can’t hit a Communities name, profile, or someone else’s.

        I like the layout, but I like everything being able to be viewed on the bottom of the screen.

    I’m interested in a foss Android library to wrap the Lemmy API. Any idea? It would make working on Lemmy integration much faster.

    This speaks volumes about the popularity of Lemmy. I think this might actually keep taking off!

      for a lil while at least, june 30 will probably bring another mass exodus, including sync users, let’s see how it goes, afterwards i imagine that there’ll be a small push and then things will calm down a bit cuz rn it’s exploding due to a mass publicity campaign that won’t be there when reddit’s already committed app-genocide

    Which is closest to Apollo?

    I don’t really like Memmy, I can’t get into Mlem because the beta is closed, right now I’m on Limbo and it’s alright.

      YMMV You can download from github and install from Xcode if you missed the beta

      Boost is (should say was) my favorite reddit app, so I designed jerboa based off its UI. I’d definitely appreciate more apps, but boost was always closed source, so it makes sense to contribute to jerboa.
